Services
CEREC Dentistry
CEREC technology enables single-visit restorations using CAD-CAM precision. Patients receive durable, natural-looking ceramic crowns, veneers, or inlays/onlays without temporary fittings. This method eliminates multiple appointments, reduces discomfort, and preserves more natural tooth structure. Our dentists utilise 3D imaging and milling for accurate, metal-free results.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth, integrating with the jawbone for stability. We offer implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures to restore function and aesthetics. The process includes bone assessment, surgical placement, and custom restoration. Implants prevent bone loss and mimic natural tooth roots, offering long-term oral health benefits.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers address chips, gaps, discolouration, and misalignment with thin, durable shells. The process involves minimal enamel removal and two visits for preparation and bonding. Veneers offer stain resistance and a natural appearance, enhancing smiles with customised shape and shade. They are a long-lasting solution for aesthetic dental concerns.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy removes infected pulp from damaged teeth, alleviating pain and preventing extraction. Using modern techniques, we clean and seal the root canal system, followed by a crown for protection. This procedure saves natural teeth, maintains bite function, and halts infection spread to surrounding tissues.
Paediatric Dentistry
We provide preventive and restorative care for children, including check-ups, sealants, and fluoride treatments. Our approach focuses on early education, gentle treatments, and creating positive dental experiences. We guide parents on home care routines and monitor developmental milestones to ensure lifelong oral health.

Report
I was very anxious about getting my wisdom tooth out after having a very bad traumatic experience at another clinic 2 years ago, but both Simone and Dr Manju were really amazing. I managed to make a last minute appointment as I was in a bit of pain and my local dentist didint provide any local with sedation. The whole process at Camberwell Dental Centre from start to finish completely put me at ease and with some serious skill from Dr Manju my actual tooth was removed within about 5 minutes. Furthermore they went above and beyond and Simone drove me home to recover. I left feeling so relieved

Clare is great and has been my regular dental assistant. Simone is always very helpful finding regular or emergency appointments if needed. I highly recommend this dental practice.

I happily travel 3+ hours for the peace of mind, caring and professionalism provided by the Camberwell Dental Clinic. To highly recommend is to undersell such an outstanding clinic which has provided me with so many years of personal attention. Much appreciated.
